Diamond Pool Finishers

In the Malvern's what and outstanding place to work , it didn't start very well i couldn't fined the house for about 1hour driving around, then it was boiling -hot, and they supplied Nico-bond fast setting adhesive that was setting to fast :mad2: , so i went and got mosaic -fix from tops -tiles , and then guy i'am tiling the pool for volunteered me to tile a shower in the big house !! bloody cheek ! the estate manager took me to see it and said along the way he used to be a pro-tiler for ten-years and they asked him lol to do it But he didn't fancy it, so when we got there they have bought really expensive paper-faced mosaics i looked at the two walls on was aqaboard and the other was skim plaster , then he said the magic words don't worry i have PVA it for you LOL i thought of you lot straight away and laughed , i told him he had some prepping to do with a sander lol, the told him to buy and use a tanking kit then it would be ready for me to tile :mad2: what a merchant banker ,i was a tiler :smilewinkgrin: so was every F one :thumbsup:

was it the estate manager that bought the norcross :yikes:? lucky he didn't 'prime' the pool for you too.
No the pool company ,and yes they should know better, and i did have the pool company guy going round priming the walls of the pool as the suction was mad as well it was that or soak them......

yeah that norcross rapid is a nightmare at the best of times, never mind the heat we have now. must've got through a few bottles of primer on that one then. the guy priming it must've been like the forth bridge painters.
it was funny watching him as well he started with a small brush, then ended -up with a sponge LOL.....
